Connector Requirements
Different types of connectors are required to install the Xanbus-enabled
devices on the network cable.
RJ45 connector The network cable uses modular RJ45 connectors, as shown in Figure 6.
The connector is suitable for cost-sensitive applications and is easily
installed by an end user. The RJ45 connector should be a modular plug, 8-
position, 8-contact for round, stranded, unshielded cable.
Network Power Supply
In a Xanbus System, the power sources must provide sufficient power for
all of the Xanbus-enabled devices.
Power supply The network must have at least one device with a power supply to run the
network. The total network current supplied by all the power-sourcing
devices must be greater than or equal to the total current drawn by the
power consuming devices.
For example, in a system with an inverter/charger, an interface panel and
an Automatic Generator Start, the inverter/charger is a power-sourcing
device capable of providing 800 mA at 15 VDC while the two other
devices each consume a maximum of 200 mA for a total maximum
consumption of 400 mA. In this example, the network is properly
configured from a power perspective because the power source is capable
of providing more current than is needed: 800 mA ≥ 400 mA.

Important:
All networks, regardless of type, require a device that powers the
network. Typically, this is your inverter/charger.
Note: See your Xanbus device guides to determine how much power each
device consumes or supplies.
